XLINK AUP (ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY)
The XLink Acceptable Use Policy defines what Team XLink will and will not allow while using the XLink Service. The Service refers to use of XLink Kai: Evolution VII, teamxlink.co.uk, the Official XLink Forums and XLinked.com.

As a registered user, you must:

- Not cheat during play, unless cheats have been enabled in the specific game and all users are aware.

- Conduct yourself in chat and forum areas in a friendly yet competitive nature. This means NO racism, sexism and all other forms of harassment. Moderate "indecent" language is acceptable, but constantly crude and vulgar swearing is not acceptable. Discussion and advertising of piracy (including links to sites that condone or support piracy) is definitely not allowed, however discussion of homebrew software (primarily for the XBox) is fine.

- Treat all users with the same amount of respect. XLink is about GLOBAL network gaming, so there will often be users that will not speak English. Skill levels of users should be kept in mind, and beginners will be treated in a friendly yet competitive nature by more experienced users.

- Abide by Team XLink's actions. If you believe a moderator is abusing their privileges, inform us and we will take action should the claims be substantiated. Unsupported claims and accusations can result in disciplinary action against the accuser.

Failure to follow these guidelines will result in a few things depending on the severity. A warning may be issued for first offences or where seen fit. Banning of user accounts can come in the form of temporary or permanent. Should you find your account has been disabled, it is usually for a very good reason.

In general, do the right thing by us and other users and you'll never find yourself in such a situation.
